^^^^^ Was thinking Pop albums that are very commercial sounding walrus_21 , full of hits , Thriller from Michael Jackson is a good example you give (smile)Was listening to ABC - The Lexicon Of Love (1982) this morning , and it's still rather good, it's full of catchy pop songs . Love this song not sure about their fashion sense though lol

I never cared for this brand of Brit Pop. Style-first, and really misguided at even that. This genre, and cheesy hair metal, were rightly swept away by Nirvana and Pearl Jam.

Where is our new savior? ;-) Probably an Internet mogul. I've heard that theory more than once.

^^^^^ Much of the 80's stuff as not aged well i must agree , but some pop songs from that time i still like , mind you it was my era .The Smiths and The Cure were good ?Not sure Nirvana swept the cheesy stuff away though , seem to remember the same been said about Punk doing similar .It gets marginalized for a while i think, then something like pop idol/American idol comes along a your knee deep in cheese and it stinks worse than ever .
